清．翠玉白菜 Ch'ing dynasty (1644-1911)
長：18.7公分／高：9.1公分／厚：5.07公分

玉，在中國是非常珍貴的質材，琢磨玉料成為器物則相當的費工、費時，如何節
料、省工遂成為玉器設計過程中，空間思考的準則之一，而「量材就質」便是此
思考方向下產生的藝術特質。所謂「量材就質」，簡而言之，就是順應玉料自然
天成的外形或色澤設計玉器形制，是一種在外設條件的限制下發揮創造力的創作
方式。協調天然與人為，則是此一創作方式最重要的理念。

本院藏品「翠玉白菜」即可謂其中翹楚－以一塊半白半綠的翠玉為原材，運用玉
料自然的色澤分佈，琢碾出一棵鮮活欲滴、葉片上還停留了一隻螽斯與一隻蝗蟲
的白菜。

此件翠玉白菜原是永和宮的陳設器，永和宮為清末瑾妃所居之宮殿，據說翠玉白
菜即為其隨嫁的嫁妝。白菜寓意清白；象徵新嫁娘的純潔，昆蟲則像徵多產；祈
願新婦能子孫眾多。自然色澤、人為形制、象徵意念，三者搭配和諧，遂成就出
一件不可多得的珍品。

Jadeite Cabbage with Insects Ch'ing dynasty (1644-1911)
Length: 18.7 cm, width: 9.1 cm, thickness: 5.07 cm

Jade has always been one of the most valued materials in China.

However, the manufacture of jade objects required a considerable amount
of time and effort.

Consequently, how to apply the least effort to achieve the greatest effect
is one of the guiding principles in designing a work of jade.

One artistic approach derived from such a consideration is "suiting the
features to the material".

In other words, this approach allowed artisans to adopt the natural features
of the original material, such as the shape or colors, to achieve the desired
effect, thereby saving time and effort.

Making the most of limitations while obtaining a balance between the natural
features and manmade effects are keys to the success of this principle.

This carving from the National Palace Museum collection is a superb example.

The naturally occurring white and green parts of a piece of jadeite, a glossy
mineral known for its striking colors and popular in later Chinese crafts, were
transformed into the lively forms of the leaves and stalks of a bok-choy
cabbage along with a katydid and a locust lingering among the leaves.

This piece was originally kept in the Yung-ho Palace, residence of Consort
Chin in the late Ch'ing dynasty.

It is said to part of her dowry. Bok-choy cabbage is a metaphor for purity,
symbolizing the purity of the bride.

These insects, known for their ability to reproduce, are symbolic of fertility,
a blessing for the newly wed lady to have many sons. Endowed with material
significance, splendid craftsmanship, and symbolically auspicious overtones,
this piece expresses the aesthetic harmony of these three elements, making
it all the more treasured.
